At least one of the fledglings is crossing the Henry Hudson Parkway on a regular basis now. It’s a little scary to watch. Sometimes the crossings are a high flight, but on Friday one of the crossings was a hop up onto a guard rail of an off ramp and then a low flight across the highway.
The fledglings were very active in the afternoon. Chasing squirrels, playing with sticks and chasing each other. The boat basin was a hawk nursery school for the day.
While there were lots of people out on the extended holiday weekend, they generally did a good job of keeping their distance from the hawks. Thanks everyone!
